Nokon cabling is made up of lots of little cylinders of metal that fit inside one another, it acts as a more resilient "armoured" outer, is lighter than normal cable, turns around corners sharper and is really expensive.
Pros: Looks nice, seems to hold up to polo abuse more than regular cabling.
Cons: Not the magic cure for cabling by any means... regular cable oiling/servicing just as good.
I wanted to get one of those oiler things, anyone know which width/size fits Nokon cable (Gabes and Em, I'm looking at you)?
I've tried the cheap Nokon copycat stuff too, that was rubbish... as in worse than normal cabling, I kept "crimping" the links in crashes and having loads of friction, etc, avoid.
